Strips of assorted solids and a chevron machine-quilting design join together in a modern quilt. Megan Frock of Downtown Housewife designed On the Straight and Narrow by for Quilt Sampler® Fall/Winter 2013 magazine.

Machine-quilted double zigzag lines across the horizontal stripes enhances the modern, geometric look of On the Straight and Narrow. Shop owner Jessica Defibaugh added dense pebble and right-angle designs between the double zigzags and stipple-quilting in the block backgrounds to emphasize the pieced crosses.
